Thread: Lake Oconee Timber Dipping

Great video as usual. Very informative. I have mixed feelings about this latest technology on the market. To me, it is like video game fishing. Although it definitely takes skill to learn and operate the system it does remove a great deal of skill from the actual fishing. It takes the guess work out and allows you to see exactly where the fish are and how they are reacting to your presentation. Which seems great, but I feel you lose a lot of the sport.... With that said, it's becoming nearly essential to compete in tournament fishing and the technology with out a doubt works. It's truly remarkable stuff. I don't know if I'll ever have one on my boat or not, but I can definitely see the benefits.

To be fair I had the same mixed feelings the first time I saw a spider fishing rig. Crappie fishing used to be minnows and cane poles, unless you went to Murray, then it was bream buster poles and jigs in the blowdowns.
